its not your job to be the moral compass of the world

Whose job is it if not yours?

Not for me to tell client what business to be in or how to run it IMHO

But it's for you to decide to work there or not. I find it surprising a client wouldn't disclose this first though, to avoid wasting people's time.

True but if there is nothing else around should you just not take it in the short term if it means being able to feed your kids and heat the house?

If you need a window cleaner you don't expect to have to tell him in advance what type of business it is you do. You just hire a window cleaner.

Doesn't it depend on the business

But what if they made adult movies and the cleaner was expected to act the part of a cleaner rather than actually clean they would be probably be miffed you didn't tell him in advance what type of business you do

I think its reasonable to mention it if the business is one of the morally challenging ones.

e.g.

Porn
Vivisection
GM food
Alcohol
Gambling
Payday lending
Pawn
abortion
tax evasion
Telesales that target pensioners / the weak.

etc.

just purely to avoid wasting everyone's time.

I personally have no issue with porn that is made with consenting adults. Not sure I would want to actually work supplying it but friends did.

I might have an issue with aggressive payday lending, gambling and on demand abortions though.

Used to work for comms company years ago. One of the fellas had to go and replace a voice switch of some sorts in a "call centre" in soho.

It was located in a room full of old codgers doing sex lines.
